That's a good video but shows the leaves larger, more deeply lobed with sub-lobes. The underside of the leaves and the fruit match. However his other video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scCfq6yppQE shows field maple leaves in winter which are small and 3-5 lobed, so there is some variability. The sole A. campestre planted in Forest 22 at the Arboretum has small deeply lobed wavy leaves. The Maple Society key gives "All lobe apices obtuse to acute. . A. campestre" so pointed lobes is a furphy. Definitely not Acer buergerianum planted in Forest 73. I have more photos showing size, shape and underneath but would need to put them as an additional sighting.

@DonFletcher we took him to the vet. He was a Bush rat. The injuries he sustained were indicative of a cat attack and were too severe for him to survive. I left him in their care to have him euthanized.

Mike after viewing this link do you still think that it is Acer campestre. Pointed lobes seems to be a bit of a furphy but hard to see underside of leaf

The shape of the forewing main line suggests H percomptaria to me
